Brock Lesnar is currently involved in MMA, in which his success is well-balanced from little to none. Lesnar was probably best known for being WWE Champion, shooting from Rookie with Paul Heyman and beating down The Hardys to beating The Rock and Undertaker and having a terrific rivalry with current TNA star Kurt Angle.
Lesnar stated after his first MMA win that he is "waiting for the company that brings money to the table." So clearly, his objective is to wrestle, but wrestle for money...Big money! Lesnar had a good deal in WWE by nearly dominating everyone, including a young John Cena, during a Pay-Per-View for the WWE Title belt.
Kurt Angle and Lesnar have good chemistry and are good friends, which resulted in Angle bringing the Smackdown roof down with good wrestling matches (not including the infamous Shooting Star Press incident done at Wrestlemania).
But Lesnar and Angle are known to be good friends, and in the public during interviews on the subject, Lesnar gives the benefit of the doubt and makes himself look like the World's most dangerous athlete alive. Angle even went as far as building up broken hype for Lesnar to come to TNA before his match against Frank Mir (which Lesnar lost by submission).
If Lesnar goes to WWE, he is given freedom to stretch and extended with multiple stars. If he heads to TNA, he may make some good rivalries with competition Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle.
There was also excitement on Angle's part of what could possibly be a first time ever Sting vs. Brock Lesnar rivalry, Old School vs. New School. This rivalry has been anticipated, especially after a Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe rivalry.
Lesnar is still involved with MMA, and obviously not digging the pay—so the question is, Who will take the move first, the powerful empire of WWE, paying Lesnar $1 million a year—or TNA, struggling to keep the mega star happy?

Im a huge lesnar fan an i see no reason why brock would like to come back to the wwe or tna even if its for the money, he even turned down a huge money deal from vince to pursue a football career, hes in it to fight the best. An plus he has five more fights in his contract.

I agree with David, why would Brock Lesnar come back, if he went to TNA he would easy crush the younger wrestlers an would become the champion within weeks, an the only real opponent would be Kurt. If he went back to the WWE it would be great but with Vince bitching with him an that whole lawsuit I dont think so. I think that Brock should stay on UFC cause I read some where that he was tired of pro wrestling an was moving to face real fighters. He shouldnt back to wrestle fakes.

Brock will stay with UFC.
He just recently destroyed his last opponent and is HUGE with the UFC fans.
Brock is going to dominate the UFC heavyweight division. There is absolutely no reason for him to leave.

"Brock Lesnar is currently involved in MMA, in which his success is well-balanced from little to none." I almost stopped reading after that sentence alone. Obviously you have not been paying attention. Lesnar just destroyed Heath Herring, who is a seasoned MMA vet and did so in headline creating fashion. If he continues to improve at his current rate, in one year he will likely be either the UFCs biggest star, their heavyweight champion, or both.

Both organizations are on the Spike Network and while I doubt Lesnar will be wrestling on a full-time basis in the near future, I could see TNA making an agreement with the UFC in conjunction with Spike to perhaps have Lesnar make a couple of appearance on Impact. Perhaps to slap around Triggs and Angle.

James that would be cool if he made a few appearances on tna but i dont think so, if he did might beat crap out of angle this time. Ya I knew there was something weird about this article too Jeremy.

Is this satire? Is this a serious article? Brock has stated on numerous occasions that he is done with the harsh lifestyle of pro wrestling. He and Rena have more money than they will ever need between them so that is not a driving force for him. He has a unmatched desire to compete and fake wrestling will never feed his hunger.
If the Bleacher Report is paying Jonathan to write blogs like this then hell give me a job. If they pay writers to write articles with no ounce of research or valid points then I could freakin' do that.

I think Brock should come back to WWE. I am a big fan of him and want to see him fighting again with the Undertaker. He was much successful inWWE winning some historic matches. Now with his return he will be able to earn the topmost position of the wrestling world.

He will never come back. He is legit two wins away from a Heavyweight title shot. He is dedicated and he won't leave MMA.

Brock is gonna be the biggist thing in MMA ever. Brock has all the tools. He lost his first fight against on of the best in MMA, then came back with an impressive win. He will be UFC champion within the next 2 years why would he wanna go back to long road trips and backstage politics. WWE sux now and TNA simply could not afford what he is worth.
